Digital Library - or Not? Needed?


Newbie here - so take it easy on me. Been browsing the forums and see quite the vitriol in some cases.

I have a system I'm happy with that streams hi res using commercial services that we all know about. Can access almost all my music preferences, as I'm not into rare/underground/etc., but most of my taste is commercial so can easily find on streaming services.

I also have a small CD collection since I was a youngster (lets say 200?), mostly of albums that one can easily find on my streaming services, with a few exceptions (like those of my personal music with bands I've been involved in).

I can't pinpoint a good reason to digitize the CD collection and turn into a digital library, except for the very few exceptions noted. But I have a "fear of missing out" (FOMO), which I'm sure most of us can relate to. Like... there must be a good reason to create the library and have access to it... but my rationale side says "why, when you have access already? And that access is hi-res files?"

Is there another good reason to create a FLAC library like this? Or is my logical brain making more sense than my emotional side?

Thanks!

Rip the CD's that aren't available to stream or the CD version that sounds better to you than the streamed version. 

I wish I had back all the time I spent ripping, tagging, and organizing my CD collection. I subscribed to Tidal a few months after I finished. I estimate I haven't listened to 75% of those titles since I can easily queue them up and stream them. 

I still buy the occasional CD that is unavailable to stream. Spent quite a bit on ECM label titles before that library became available to stream. Live and learn I guess. 

Good luck. 
I truly enjoy going to my rack of CDs and letting my eyes roam.  I'll pull out a likely suspect.  Maybe I'll put it back and pull one out that's nearby.  It's a process that, woah, is just like choosing a slice of vinyl. In any case, it's far more fun for me than squinting at my laptop or cell phone.
